I don't think I've ever posted on this list. I would like to comment that
it's a priceless service you all provide posting on the forum.
I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Michigan Department of Agriculture has a
"Ferret Health Advisory Sheet" which is a weak attempt at providing
"Information for Ferret Owners". What's worse is "A copy of this Advisory
Sheet must accompany every ferret sold or transferred within Michigan". If
you get curious, you can check it out at www.michigan.gov/mda. It's a
trifold with ..... get this ... a picture of a black-footed ferret on the
front page.
ANYWAY, this pamphlet lists the "Common Health Problems of Ferrets".
1. Canine Distemper Virus
2. Influenza (flu) virus
3. Intestinal Obstructions
4. Heartworm
Anyone care to comment? Please do.
